Here is an idea that I need some opinions on. I think any type would be good for any type, however I also think if you have an extreme preference while the others are normal, you may want someone with that same preference.
For example, I think if you're an INTP and and you have an extreme preference of Introversion then you should seek an introvert. If the other preferences are weak then a good match would the ISFJ (since the other preferences are weak, they should be challenged.) Any strong preference should be met with an equal preference, because most people don't fancy those of a great difference to one of their preferences. I am sure there are some who do, but for the most part extremes should be paired. Two opposite preferences that are both weak won't be largely different from each other, so they may as well be X.
Another example, if your results look like this:
E ***** 30%
N ************** 75%
F ************ 65%
P **** 25%
an ideal mate might be the INFJ.
But this INFJ should have a similar pattern to their preferences for the best compatibility, such as:
I ****** 35%
N **************** 85%
F ************* 70%
J ***** 30%
These two are quite similar, but the weak E and P is switched with the weak I and J and the N and F are strong.
Another example:
E *************** 80%
S ******* 45%
T ********** 55%
J ********** 55%
This can be taken multiple ways depending on the person. All preferences could be considered strong, so the ideal is an ESTJ, or just the E could be considered strong so the ideal is an ENFP. One assumption is to say that an ISTJ would not be a good match here.
One more example:
I ******* 45%
S ******* 45%
F ** 10%
P ******* 45%
Either I, S and P are considered strong, depending on the person so the ideal is an ISTP, or all preferences are considered weak so the ideal is an ENTJ of mirrored preferences. Big difference between both perceptions.
I think strong preferences should be considered and met and weak preferences should be challenged
In any case, I am just theorizing here. What do you guys think? Is this logical? I need some test subjects.
